About Zoe

As an interior designer, I am driven to make my home beautiful and comfortable. I love traveling and love to discover new ideas and get inspirations and experience other culture.

After living in 5 different countries for 12 years, I was so tired of moving around. I decided to settle in London, in 2010 I bought this apartment which was in very bad condition, I filled up with my beloved furniture, beautiful decoration collected around the world. Then after only 3 months living in this loving home,I meet the man of my life, he was very impressed with my beautiful and cozy home, but at the end insist that I moved to his house in the countryside to start our new family together.

Truly hope you find your comfort and love in this beautiful home.

Zoe purchased this townhome in 2010

Why Zoe chose Kensington and Chelsea

Centre located in a quiet residential and historic street, with great characters Victoria Apartment, excellent decoration plus super comfortable beds, and spacious bright and brand new kitchen and open living, new and very clean bathrooms.

What makes this townhome unique

A lot space for centre London, and having your own way of living at a wonderful apartment without paying huge hotel bills.

I do find quite annoying that I need to buy all the things that I only need small amount, such as salt, peppers, sugar, washing power/liquid, dishwasher tablets, etc when I stayed at holiday rental homes, hence here I stock all this necessary and basic items for the easy and comfortable stay.

A holiday is we pay for a happy time, comfortable beds with quality beds linens, and the powerful hair dryer for ladies make everything so different. I do my best to make you feel it is worth the experience and worth the money you pay for.

Guestbook comments from the owner

My entire family enjoyed the stay at the apartment thoroughly. The apartment is well equipped with all the necessary items including a wii console + games. The location is excellent with a 24/7 Tesco, West Kensington Tube station and several restaurants within 10min walking distance. The neighbourhood, though quiet, comprises of several friendly families. The host, Zoe Huang, is un-doubtly one of the friendliest host I have came across and she is constantly in touch and ensuring that things are going well for me and my family throughout our stay. Highly recommended!

Great Stay in London

of 5

I am sorry to be writing this review so late. The year has gotten away from me! We had a great time staying in this flat. It was our first stop on our European vacation and it was a great place to spread out in while dealing with jet lag. We texted Zoe when we got on the tube at Heathrow and she was at the flat when got there. We loved how close it is to a great tube line that is convenient for many popular attractions. We also enjoyed how convenient the grocery store was for picking up food on our way home from sightseeing. The flat is comfortable, pleasant and clean. Zoe was very good to us. I would definitely stay in this flat again.

Zoe's apartment is exactly as described - bright, spacious, in a great & quiet location close to tube & buses. The apartment is clean and well maintained with good facilities. Beds are comfortable, showers etc good. Plenty of information on local shops, restaurants, maps, attractions etc.

Owner's Response: Thank you Peter. I am very glad you all enjoyed your stay at my apartment. I apologise that I was too busy and didn't make to there to welcome you to stay. I do arrange builder to do maintenance at least 2/3 times per year, boiler and heating are checked every autumn. I can only relaxed when I see every thing is in good order and look beautifully. Just got new a designer's coffee table. A king size bed is coming after New Year. I hope to see you next time. Regards Zoe

charming deco, super clean & high end sheets

We stayed at Zoe's apartment as a group of 6 from New York City and it was lovely. We probably looked at 20 different options and so glad we chose this apartment.

A very charming street, super clean, cute furnishings and decor. Zoe was incredibly nice and let us into the apartment early with no extra charge (which was really a nice treat after getting in from a redeye). She was really friendly and responded to questions immediately. Very easy to deal with.

A grocery store and some cute cafes were a short walk away. The only downside is the bedrooms weren't perfect for 3 couples (one of the bedrooms is just a twin size bed, but one of the bedrooms has an additional futon), but the cost was really great and MUCH cheaper than the hotels in london.

A plus - fantastic high end sheets!

Would definitely stay again!

The property is centrally located, situated only moments from the peaceful open space of Holland Park and in the premier residential area of Kensington. A wide range of amenities and really good restaurants and shops can be found on the Kensington High street and Earl’s Court, Westfield etc.

The apartment is so centrally located and plenty of things to see to do on your door steps: Westfields, Kensington Exhibition Centre, Holland Park, Leighton House Museum, Notthing Hill are all within a very short walk. The surrounding neighborhood are so charming, it is well worth to take a walk around. Especial to Notting Hill through Holland Park, you walk through the finest and exclusive residential streets in London, also the charming area around Abingdon Villas. The area is also home to many famous celebrities, includes Simon Cowell(Addison Crescent),Sir Richard Branson (in the heart of Holland Park) JK Rowling, Madonna (Earls Terrace) etc.
